Pink Floyd - Meddle

“Girls, Girls, Girls”
The Blueprint
Roc-A-Fella Records
Jay-Z follows up “Izzo (H.O.V.A.)” with his second single and music video “Girls, Girls, Girls” from his sixth album titled “The Blueprint”. I will begin by saying the music video has some good production values and is a bit more interesting than his previous tart …

Wounds In The Way by Rachelle Ferrell
From the first chord of the acoustic guitar, the sultry voice, and the overall sensual mood, one would believe “Wounds in the Way” was a sad love song. But after hearing the song during its second play, you’ll come to see that is not the case: “Wounds in the Way” …

Jay-Z
“I Can’t Get Wit’ That”
This is a very old and very rare Jay-Z music video and single from way back in 1994, before his rags-to-riches single “In My Lifetime”. Some say that this was rare and unreleased. It’s called “I Can’t Get Wit’ That” and to be perfectly honest, …
